Exactly, DWA. The skeptricks made life miserable for good, honest researchers. They maligned and slandered them. What’s the big deal if we have a momentary joke?

I couldn’t help, when I read this, thinking about how Grover Krantz suffered years of ridicule and never saw the puzzle solved. So did Rene Dahinden; John Green is getting up there, and so are a number of the other brave folks who bucked the scientific mainstream to put cryptids on the scientific table. They may not see it either.

In exchange for the significant damage institutional ‘skepticism’ has done to people’s careers and lives, I considered a moment’s humor pretty much insignificant.

Agreed :/ but seeing who it was posting the jokes I can’t really say I am surprised.

Come on now. Skeptics or not, these were human beings with friends and families who have died and that is a tragic thing. It is not something to celebrate or poke fun at in my opinion. I’m actually disappointed that people here would do that.

We can argue and disagree with skeptics all we want, but people died here. At least show some respect.

They aren’t real. Prove it.

They can still be skeptics after they’re dead, right?

And yet they say that God has no sense of humor.
